Well I suppose I was that member who trounced Senoufou. Well I didn't set out to trounce anyone, but the thing is that we as society can tussle with, and resolve, the issue of public bathrooms/toilets, obviously not without some difficulty, but where there's a will... On the other hand, those people who find themselves in difficulty with our erstwhile strict (and false) two-gender world have a major issue, not at all of their own making, for life, and deserve a bit more sympathy/empathy than they get from the toilet-worriers, who seem to me to have their priorities arse about face. The sideways glances, nasty little behind-the-hand remarks and smirking they already have to deal with are bad enough, and then when they get caught short...

I had an uncle who asserted that homosexual people were just "dirty buggers" who were out for kicks (he'd also lived in Rhodesia for a while and had kept a black "houseboy" and his family in a shack at the bottom of his garden). We've come a lot further in dealing with those horrid attitudes than we have with transgender issues, and we'll get there, but we won't unless we firmly confront them. No indulgences. I suppose we could try to be nice about it.
